Larry reported to the list the story abot the poor fellow who was hit and 
injured by that dump truck.  He died a day later.  There's a story 
from yesterday in the Hagerstown paper: Family of bicyclist killed by dump 
truck vow to promote rider safety

He had wanted to keep riding until he was past 100.  This brought to mind 
a story from earlier in the month of a 105 year old French cyclist:
